And In my opinion, backing up the RAW data of the HD is much
better than backing up the files, as the restoration process will be
much easier, no need to setup lilo or partitions, just back up
/dev/hda and if the need arises copy the backup file back to
/dev/hda and you are where you left off :)
In most laptops you can even backup the hibernation drive and in
so doing restart the computer from a given place :)
